New NATO, New Century: Canada, the United States, and the Future of the Atlantic Alliance Edited By David Haglund
|
| "We cannot forecast what the world will look like in twenty years, but we can ensure that the Canadian officers of tomorrow have the mental acuity, the intellectual depth and breadth, as well as a progressive and insightful military ethos that will permit them to deal with whatever ambiguity and complexity they will face. The challenge is clear. Hopefully, this book will serve as a catalyst to start such a renaissance." From the Foreword by LGen Romeo Dallaire |
In New NATO, New Century, 13 essays provide an in-depth account of NATO’s efforts to adapt to an increasingly complex political and strategic environment. Written by Canadian and international scholars, the book examines the Alliance’s move from collective defence to cooperative security, the significance of the European security and defence identity for trans-Atlantic relations, and efforts to constructively engage Russia. | ||

"Chiefs of Defence... is frank, fiercely argumentative, and contentious in the extreme ... No reader of this book will agree with every word of it. But every reader will repeatedly nod... and admit, sometimes very grudgingly, that by God, Douglas Bland has hit it right between the eyes yet again." -- J.L. Granatstein, York University
